Last Saturday we backpacked in 5 mikes to Lake Como set up camp then climbed Blanca Peak the day after. It is 14,351 ft and is the 4th highest peak in Colorado. It is rated a Class 2+ hike/climb. That means there are some areas where you need to use your hands and legs to get up it. They go up to Class 5 which is a technical climb. It is the hardest 14'er that I have done. I have to admit there were a few places I felt scared and talked to myself not to look down. I am very excited to have made it to the top. My 1st thought at the top was ..."How am I ever going to make it down!" 😊 It took us 6 hours round trip. Thanks for viewing!
